Bob was born June 25, 1941, in Medicine Hat and was raised on the family farm in the Little Plume district south of Dunmore. He attended Goose Lake School and helped on the farm with ranching and farming. He married Magdalena Lutz on November 27, 1965. They took over the family farm and raised their children to know the value of honest work and the importance of family and faith in Jesus. They attended Little Plume Church faithfully and loved to welcome friends, family and neighbours through the doors with a smile and a handshake or hug. Bob loved Maggie, his family, visiting with neighbours, his cows and horses and the farm. He had a great sense of humour and a way about him to make you feel special, and could make your day with laughter and his encouraging personality. Bob’s hobbies in his spare time were hunting, fishing, drawing, curling and gardening. Bob and Maggie moved to Medicine Hat in 2007 and got used to city life and retirement. They were able to do some travelling and enjoyed visiting their children and grandchildren. In September 2020, they moved to Masterpiece Southlands Meadows. They celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary on November 27, 2025. The family would like to extend special thanks to the nurses, aides and staff at Masterpiece for the time and loving care they gave to Dad during his residency and palliative care.
